Assistant prosecutor4(助理检察官) Rick Bombik told local news media that he thought Anthony Sowell would have a difficult time proving he was insane(精神错乱的).

"Under Ohio law you have to be able to prove you do not know right from wrong," he said.

If found guilty, Mr Sowell could face the death penalty.

The 50-year-old appeared in court via a video link from prison on Thursday. Judge Eileen Gallagher ordered he be held without bail5.

A pre-trial hearing(审前听证) has been set for 7 December.

The former US marine6 is also charged with kidnapping, rape7 and abusing a corpse8(尸体), among other indictments(起诉,控告).

Investigators9 are examining whether he may also be connected to unsolved killings10 elsewhere.

On Wednesday, FBI agents carried out a search of a house Mr Sowell had lived at in the 1980s before being sent to prison for 15 years for attempted rape. No bodies were found.

The investigation11 into Mr Sowell began after a complaint to police by a 36-year-old who said she was attacked by him.

Police found the remains of 10 women on his property and a separate skull. Most of the victims appear to have been poor black women with drug addictions12. The coroner said most of them were strangled(勒死,使窒息).
